the ability to apply thorns to damage is just so insane, and would fit barbarian so much better than a naked no armor class.
Can you just imagine whirlwind with the ability to apply thorns to our damage and then sticker thought? it would stop being a gimmick Twister build and become all about its actual damage again!

You mean Barbarian Hack from D3 that got added to Diablo 4 Monk, I mean, Spiritborn? Yeah. Instead you got Barbed Carapace.

Yeah…
I need this for Frenzy.
Barbed carapace is a bit underwhelming. It works ok. I use third blade with deathblow spam to keep fury spend up and leap with giant strides to keep the AoE up.
I can’t get an ancestral razorplate to drop though so I’m kinda stuck in torment tier 2. I can do 3 but it’s slower then I’d like. 2 is boring easy.
Also, I can’t seem to get thorns while fortified to ever work, in spite of deathblow spam keeping me fortified nearly 100% of the time.
After creating a barbarian I realized freeze, fear and knock back effects were a thing. I was so used to having 5 resolve stacks and ignore every impairing effect. I was expecting being berserk should make a barbarian unstoppable since you’re, you know, berserking…
This mountain of a man/woman who is a master of arms whose class fantasy is being an unstoppable force doesn’t have a way of becoming unstoppable while a you know who is always unstoppable…
All other classes are designed to overcome weakness where as SB feels like it’s designed to have fun.
The SB Crushing Hand build is literally how HOTA is meant to be played. Leap into the fray and start slamming down.
